AuthorTopic: Fan control in VextorLinux 6.0 Light (Read 3914 times)

I am running VectorLinux 6.0 Light on an ASUS L-7200. A ten year old laptop. In general, it works very well.The computer goes very hot, though. Especially when using it at the same time as charging the battery.The cooling fan never starts. Is there a way to start it ?

It is not possible to disable it in the BIOS, so it is enabled.Originally, when the computer was new, it had Win98SE as its OS.Later, when Slackware 10.2 was released I installed that instead.After a couple of years the battery was was worn out andI can't remember if the fan control worked with Slackware 10.2.Now I have a new battery and bringing the old computer backto life again running VectorLinux Light.
